Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasonings

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking chicken)

Sandwich Fillings

1 ripe avocado, sliced
4 slices cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or provolone recommended)
¼ red onion, thinly sliced
1 medium tomato, sliced

Bread and Spreads

4 slices sourdough or ciabatta bread
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

For Grilling

1 tablespoon butter or olive oil (for grilling)

Instructions

Season the Chicken: Generously season the boneless skinless chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides to enhance flavor.
Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once shimmering, add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Remove and let rest for a few minutes to redistribute juices and make slicing easier.
Prepare Ingredients: While the chicken rests, slice the avocado, cheese, tomato, and thinly slice the red onion to have everything ready for assembling the sandwiches.
Assemble the Sandwich: Spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard evenly on each slice of bread. On two slices, layer the sliced chicken, avocado, cheese, red onion, and tomato. Top with the remaining bread slices, mayo side down.
Grill the Sandwich: Heat a clean skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add butter or olive oil. Place assembled sandwiches in the skillet and grill for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula to melt the cheese and achieve a golden, crispy crust.
Serve and Enjoy: Remove sandwiches from the pan once golden brown and cheese is melted. Let cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve warm for a fulfilling meal.

Notes

Do not rush cooking the chicken to ensure it is juicy and fully cooked.
Use room-temperature mayonnaise and mustard for easier spreading.
Try different cheeses like Swiss, cheddar, or provolone to customize flavor.
Add fresh spinach or arugula for extra crunch and nutrients.
Watch the grill closely to prevent burning the bread.
